Everyone who gave Rings a negative review had better watch out as its star is now out to puni… oh, wait, no. Scratch all that. Ahem… Matilda Lutz is getting ready to shine her rising star with a new flick that echoes I Spit on Your Grave and Last House on the Left.
Variety is reporting that Lutz is set to star in Coralie Fargeat’s directorial debut Revenge, a female-powered thriller.
Revenge which will be in both French and English, toplines Lutz as woman seeking revenge after being abused by three men and left for dead in the desert.
The film is produced by Marc-Etienne Schwartz’s M.E.S. Prods. and Marc Stanimirovic’s Monkey Pack Films. Charades, the outfit recently launched by Carole Baraton, Yohann Comte, Pierre Mazars, and Constantin Briest, is co-producing and handling international sales. Logical Pictures and Nexus Factory are also co-producing.
“At the beginning ‘Revenge’ plays with this superficial representation [of a young woman] and then reverses it: The female character becomes the strong heroin of the movie and the one who drives the action,” explained Fargeat.
Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe and Guillaume Bouchède complete the cast of the movie, which just started shooting this week in Morocco. Rézo Films has acquired French distribution rights. Canal Plus and Cine Plus have pre-bought the movie.
